During this special holiday, the Hong Kong Anti-Epidemic Self-Study Network is launching the "March 100 Lessons" program, providing at least 100 diverse and beneficial free classes for primary and junior secondary students across Hong Kong. These classes cover subjects such as Chinese, English, mathematics, liberal studies, history, literature, STEM, and coding, as well as picture books, financial literacy, martial arts, sports, music, art, handicrafts, and life skills. There are also psychological and character education classes on topics such as mental health, emotional management, gender equality, career planning, and ethics.

The classes will run from March 14th to April 14th, Monday through Friday. Morning classes will be from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and afternoon classes from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Classes will be offered both live and pre-recorded, with suitable age and grade levels listed for each class, but there is no limit to the number of participants. Parents are encouraged to attend and even participate in the classes together, which is also a great parent-child activity.
